Awesome diamond dust emote

[Lauront]

Selling the emote separately defeats the purpose of the emote.

Exactly. It's the same as the decision to bundle a statue in a CE. They know exactly how many emotes they sell and I bet you the figures aren't as high as people might think; now, add in a higher price point to maintain some exclusivity for these emotes, and the potential cannibalization of the tied in sales, and it isn't a slam dunk to them. They have to look at whether the combination of the items yields higher potential appeal for the item (and therefore sales) than selling them individually, which might seriously devalue the emote and certainly create a less attractive proposition than the bundled item. I can tell you one thing: they don't really give a shit about this mass availability point with regard to emotes. Housing is an integral part of the game, so yeah, they might listen to feedback on that, particularly if the game devs weigh in on it. People griping for them to de-bundle emotes? Nah. Potential sales figures will determine that.
